I'm curious.
Now that Em has done two different versions of this video, is there any chance different versions of this track exist? Potentially with less radio friendly verses?
It's a massive reach, but it would be awesome if the album version had some raw, shocking verses, leaving the single-version with the second and third verses which effectively parody awful hip hop.
I want the album to have this dark, demented feel. The retro vibe is nostalgically refreshing, but I fear potentially short lived.
It would be anachronistic for Em to take the MMLP out of the context it was written in; a context largely different to the place he is in today, albeit sharing a similar need for him to once again prove himself.
Hopefully this is what Em means when he mentions a revisit, rather than a serious attempt at copying the album's vibe per se.
The dark energy and hunger he shows in this video is enticing.
